Technology area: Computing & Software
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 2 of 3 (67%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Openal Opco LLC currently faces 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing a high degree of fragmentation. This one-to-one ratio between actions, examiners, and art units suggests that each of the 3 pending office actions represents a unique technical challenge within the computing field.
Each examiner, including the busiest examiner YEW, CHIE W, is responsible for 1 pending action. This distribution indicates that the company's computing and software filings cover 3 distinct technical areas, each requiring a unique approach. With 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units involved, there is no opportunity to leverage feedback from one examiner to influence another's decision. The company's prosecution strategy must therefore be tailored to the specific requirements of three separate examination environments to resolve the 3 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
